As locals and first time visitors we had high expectations based off of both word of mouth comments and online reviews and Restaurant August exceeded our expectations.
Although difficult to get a reservation for two, we had wonderful seating off of the kitchen in a semi-private room that could accommodate around 20 people which was cozy and romantic. I tried the sampling menu with wine paring which is a MUST. I found this to be the best value in town!
Each dish was created with created with the customer in mind as you eat with your eye first. Every course was plated and presented beautifully and came with a brief description as well as information about of the wine that was selected.
At the end of the meal we were able to tour the rest of the restaurant and see the upstairs party room and private tasting room in the Chef's old office. The restaurant is a wonderful historic building that has been renovated and compliments New Orleans and Chef Besh.
A spectacular meal with outstanding service. I would highly recommend this restaurant to all locals and visitors alike.
Pros: Creative and Delicious Dishes and Knowledgeable Staff
Cons: Obtaining a reservation for two
